Teachers of the Congregation Shaarey Zedek Religious Schools have formed an association to pro- mote the mutual interests of the school and teachers. Sol Panush, chairman of the association, noted that the pur- poses of the new association are to further the cause of Hebrew culture and values, to enhance and strengthen the Hebrew teach- ing profession, and to promote pro- fessional, economic and cultural advancement of the members of the organization. Ya'acov Golany and Sidney Kel- man, serving with Panush on the executive committee, emphasized that the welfare of teachers and the welfare of the children tend to be synonymous. They are confi- dent that security, status and rea- listic benefits for the Hebrew teacher will facilitate greater res- pect for the profession, and thus contribute to the alleviation of the shortage in the Hebrew teaching profession. A positive environment for Hebrew education generally will thereby be created, they stated. For Some of the best buys on new Pontiacs and Tempests Travel to Israel may be by Jet Air.
